A Few Wings Of Winter

I'm always looking for birds to photograph. Winter has a lot less bird activity in my area, but there are still some. 

The Grey Partridge has been one of those birds which have evaded me for too long. When I came across this covey of birds, and there were a few more than three, I quickly stopped and gave it a try. I am not entirely happy with these results, but they are better than any previous shots.

It seemed that they all had urgent business elsewhere, so I had to be quick to even get these shots.

The Snowy Owl was much more accommodating . I was so thankful for the blue sky and the fact that this owl allowed me to get several shots and stayed there even as I drove away.

She even gave me a good 'looking at you' pose.

No birds in this photo, at least none that I could see, but if you look carefully there is what looks to be a dog lying near the far end of the trees. I did not notice that until I saw the picture on the computer.

I'm so thankful for the beauty in each season.
